What the Mt. Lebanon Shakers
FOund-Incident in the His
tory of a Quiet Community.

York; Shakers are a quiet COM
munity, secluded fron*the fret
and worry of the outside world.
They are widely known, how
ever, for their strict honor and
probity in business. +"
The Shakers believe that ma
ture has remedy for every dis
ease. A few have been found
the rest are as yet unknown.
Many were discovered by acct

the result of patient experiment
and research. Il
Nervous Dyspepsia IS a COM
paratively near disease, growing
out Of the conditions of modern
life. 1t is a joint affection of
the digestive organs and of the
nervous system. These two
were formerly treated as sepa-
rate ailments, and it was left
for the clear-sighted Shakers
to prove that the basis of tbs
terrible and often fatal compli-
cation lies chiefly in the disord-
cred and depraved functions of
digestion and nutrition. They
=. reasoned thus:-'If we can in
duce the stomach to do its
work, and stimulate the excre-I
tive organs to drive out of the,
body the poisonous waste matt

FEMALE PHYSICIANS IN NEW YORK.

FEMALE PHYSICIANS IN NEW YORK.
There are $50 female physicians in
New York to day, and the number
in Brooklyn and the surrounding cit
les about doubles that. Among those
in New York city there are quite a
number who have incomessof $l0,-
600; two or three make yearly sums
ranging from $4,000 to S2o,00o,and
one has averaged for the last four
years steady income of $4,000.
DIR. Emily Blackwellis the president
of the Woman's Medical college and
has besides a large practice. She
has adopted children and makes a
charming home for them. DR.. Mary
Putnam jacob has large clientele
and consults with the first male ply
sicians Of the city; indeed, more
than one physician has a regular fe-
male confrere, to whom he recon-
mends some of his patients to go for
special courses of treatment. Sever
al of these female practitioners are
house physicians to hospitals, and
the Lucretia Mott hospital in Brook
Ign is entirely differed by them.
Some women physicians work in
partnership with each other, among
whom are Drs. Eliza M. Mosher and
Lucy NJ. Hall, of Brooklyn, ard the
two sister doctors, Sarah and Julia
McNutt. DR. Sarah has charge of
the babies ward of the Post Gradu-
ate hospital. and DR.. Julia has found
ed training school for nurses. Both
are physicians in high standing and
have large practice, especially
among children. Drs. Annie Dan
isls and Kate Parker are both women
ofinAuence and of the widest reach
ing charity. DR.. Elizabeth Cusher
is a celebrated anatomist and sue
cessful oviariotomist, and yet is
small, feminine, quiet voiced little
woman. Drs. Lozier, Post and
Faunce are all well known for good
work. Without exception these
women are quiet, well bred, gentle
hammered and soft voiced.

PURITY AND MODESTY.

There is nothing, my young friend,
that you should guard so scrupu-
lousy as your own womanly delica-
CIV. Brush the bloom off from a
peach, rudely touch the waxen pet
ais of lily and half of their beauty
is gone. 1t is impossible for you or
any other woman to allow yourself
to be caressed by your young men
acquaintances without losing some
what of that purity and modesty
that you should wear always as a
queen her robes of royalty. You
will be sure then to preserve not
only their respect, but what is of far
more Importance, that Of self.
Nor need this preservation of per-
sonal dignity SAVIOR one whit of prud-
cry. You can be just as bright, as
merry and friendly while saying by
your manner should it be necessary,
''hands Off" as you can possibly be
by permitting these sentimental dem
Onstrations. They are not necessary
to the good comradeship, which is
all that should exist or appear to ex-
list between you and any masculine
friend until you are sure that you
possess the true and tender love of
the man who has made himself
your hearts king, love which holds
you sacred, as every true man holds
the woman he would make his wife
and the mother of his children. And
believe me, even ii you are not yet
certain that this prince loves you as
YOU desire to be loved by him, he
will not be any easier won should
you yield to caresses prompted by a
passing mood, but rather repealed
from you, for it is human nature not
to value what is easily or cheaply OBJ

LEARNING 40 COOK.

The New York Cooking School
has had a remarkable success. 1t
was started a few years ago by sew
eral charitable ladies, who went in
to the undertaking with the idea of
elevating the standard of domestic
labor and of giving young girls who
are compelled to earn their own liv-
ing the practical means of learning
how to do it. 1t has taught thous-
ands of pupils and has established
branches in many cities in the eastern
states. Its managers are thorough
| ly interested in their work and mob
lly help it along. Mrs. Theodore
Bronson, its president, among others,
has given much aid, not only finan-
cially but personally in its manage
ment.
At the annual meeting, some time
ago, it was reported that l0,604 les.
sons in.cooking had been given by
the school. Teachers graduated from
the SCHOOL, had been sent to many
missions, girls schools and clubs in
New York and elsewhere. A large
number of girls from public schools
of New York form vacation classes
that is, during the summer vaca-
ton they give up much of their time
to the study of the art of cooking

A Woman from Austria.

Near tue NIl1dSC VI A-ll15
dorf, in Lower Austria, lives
Maria Haas, an intelligent and
industrious woman, whose story
of physical suffering and final
relief, as related by herself, Is
of interest to English women.
II was employed" she says,
Gin the work of a large farm
house. Overwork brought con
sick headache, followed by a
deathly fainting and sickness
of the stomach, until | was
unable to retain either food or
drink. I was compelled to
take to my bed for several
weeks. Getting a little better
from rest and quiet, | sought
to do some work, but was soon
taken with a pain in my side,
which IN a little while seemed
to spread over my whole body,
and tlrobbed in my every limb.
This was followed by a cough
and shortness of breath, until
finally | could not sew, and |
took to my bed for the second,
and, as l thought, for the last
time. My friends told me that
my time had nearly come, and
that I could not live longer
than when the trees put on
their green once more. Then [
happened to get one of the Sci
gel pamphlets. / read it, and
my dear mother bought me a
bottle of SE1GEL's SYRUP,
shaker Extract of Roots)
which | took exactly according
to directions, and | had not
tsken the whole of it before |
felt a change for the better. My
last illness began June Sd,
1882, and continued to August
eth, when | began to take the
Syrup. Very soon | could do
little light work. The cough
left me, and | was no more
troubled in breathing. Now [
i'm perfectly cured; and oh,
now happy | am! | cannot
express gratitude enough for
SEIGEL's SYRUP Shaker Ex-
tract of Roots). Now | must
tell you that the doctors in our
district distributed handbills
cautioning the people against
the medicine, telling them it
would do no good, and many
were thereby Influenced to de-
stroy the Seigel pamphlets; but
now, whenever one is to be
found, it is kept like a relic.
The few preserved are bor-
rowed to read, and | have lent
mine for six miles around our
district. People have come
eighteen miles to get me to buy
the medicine for them, know
ing that it cured me, and to be
sure to get the right kind. l
know a woman who was look
ing like death, and who told
them there was no help for her,
that she had consulted several
doctors, but none could help
her. | told her of Seigel's
Syrup, and wrote the name
down for her that she might
make no mistake. She took
my advice and the Syrup, and
now she is in perfect health,
and the people around us are
amazed. The medicine has
made such progress in our
neighborhood that people say
they don't want the doctor any
more, but they take the Syrup.
Sufferers from gout who were
confined to their beds and could
hardly move a finger have been
cured by it. There is a girl in
our district who caught cold
by going through some water,
and was in bed five years with
costiveness and rheumatic pains,

INTENDED ASSASSINATION.
Jules Ferry Shot In the Chamber Of
Deputies--AIs Wounds FoPtu-
nateIY Not Of a Serious Nature.

A dispatch from Paris says an attempt
was made upon the life OF NJ. Jules Ferry.
While walking in the lobby Of the chamber
ofdeputies three shots from a~reyolver were
fired at him. A scene OF confusion en-
sued and the police Immediately
formed a Gordon in the vicinity
preventing even reporters from gaining ac-
cess. Ferry was shot by a man named
Berckens, who appeared in the hall OF the
chamber of deputies and asked to see both
Ferry and Goblet. Goblet did not respond
to the request for an interview, but Ferry
did, and on his appearance his assailant
drew a revolver and fred three times at
him.
The bystanders tried to lynch Berckens
after he had fired the shots, but were pre-.
vented with difficulty IRON carrying out
their intention. A medical examination
at the hospital revealed that two OF the
bullets struck Ferry. The first passed
around the chest, slightly penetrating the
flesh, and the second struck Ferry on the
right side near the lowest rib, causing q
confusion.
Ber9kens Aubertin, M. Ferry's assaiIant,
is a aative Of Remhaeh. in Meselle. When
he made the attack on Ferry ne was ae-
companied by an accomplish who was to
have shot Goblet, who hunked, giving ais
his reason that his revolver dropped to
the floor, When Berckens was searched
by the police a paper was found IN him
which indicated that he and his confeder-
ates had drawn lots to decide who should
do the shooting. The paper ends: Death
to intriguers. Our path is marked out to
form an intelligent, disinteTested and pa
triotic ministry. So be it.

North Dakota by the last vote expresses
itself as being opposed to division, South
Dakota on the other hand expresses itself
as being decidedly IN favor OF the PROPOSE
tion. In view OF this state or affairs it is
impossible to do just what the people Of
both sections taken separately appear to
wish. AS the people of the whole territory
appear to desire division, and as che North
is certainly entitled TO admission rs a
state and there can be no question about
their desire for statehood, il becomes my
duty to do whatever is in my power to Sc
cure an enabling act for North as well as
South Dakota. While it is tree She Dem.
ocrats IN the house may OPP

| should hesitate in the performance
OF an important duty. The esaIms OF
both Dakotas for statehood are perfectly
Just and complete in every particular. No
n can or will question them who under

our whole case for the admission Of both
sections as two states to congress and if met
with refusal then appeal to the American
people in 1888 and rely upon their sense OF
justice to grant our just right by the cleo
ton OF an az administration and q majority

shall also push a bill to secure two more
judges in the territory, one in North and
one in South Dakota. The hin will pro-
vide for the division OF both the Second

strong petition for the construction OF a
levee at Mandan for the protection Of the
city from floods and ice, and shall get an
appropriation for this purpose if possible.
Mandan has suffered greatly and should
